Madame Mushka's Dream Analysis

[Madame Mushka]

I am Madame Mushka, famed fortuneteller and seer of wonders. I can tell you your fortune, or even interpret your dreams! It will cost one gold coin to see me, but it is well worth the price, and your fortune or your dream may be answered in my column in the Four Winds. Cross my palm with gold, friends, and hear what Madame Mushka has to say!

Here's your gold coin, Madame Mushka!



I had a strange dream recently--I was riding on a winged steed to kill a horrible sea monster, but suddenly the steed was made of wood and wax and melted in the heat! I fell into the ocean, and some mermaid pirates demanded all of my money before they would let me get to the surface. When I finally got up there for air, I had turned into a sea monster myself, and some jerk on a winged horse was trying to kill me!

Then we sat down to eat some pie together, and then I woke up. Now I'm very confused, and I want pie. What does it mean???

I had a semi-lucid dream the night before last! Last night's was actually so confusing. :s I was at a party where we were all made to wear the same dress (based on a porcelain doll's dress). After a few hours of socialising with childhood friends/frenemies there, I figured out I could fly and was promptly made the Queen. I later discovered I was actually the Queen of sentient cats, but that didn't seem to matter because I decided by then that I was one. :s Then we all left the party and went into battle against an enemy I can't remember. The battleground was the family vineyard and I had an unfair advantage because I knew all the good hiding places for surprise attacks.

The night before last I was in an RPG. I think I told myself it was MoE because the graphics were blocky and ugly and 3D. :s We had to defeat a dragon and save a princess. I had two weapons; one of which was a large, thick bamboo stick with which I could hit enemies and the other was a brightly coloured lance (without favours). After defeating the dragon, my party (three members; the two others were nondescript) went into town to get supplies. However, since my computer clock said it was night, it was night in town too. To remedy this, I had to think "Let's set the computer clock back a few hours." and all the shops magically opened. After getting better weapons (you expect me to defeat things with a stick? Seriously? ), I went into a jewellery shop to look for a very specific locket (I've been doing this in RL for years). I didn't find it, but I did find my lavalier (my first-ever piece of jewellery and a piece of great sentimental value), which prompted me to wake up.



(Best coin ever)

I don't even remember what I dreamed about last night.  And I also can't remember where I put my gold coins

[waltzdancing]

Hey everyone! Just wanted to remind you about the wonderful Madam Mushka's dream readings. For only one gold coin she will tell you what it means.

[Deloria]

But she hasn't told us what they mean!

[Delling]

There you go splitting hairs again.

[Deloria]

I just feel ripped off. I want my Austro-Hungarian corona back!

[waltzdancing]

She will be answering soon.

[waltzdancing]

Hey everyone,

Madam Mushka needs dreams. We are planning something special for you guys and we need your help by having you submit dreams:)

Even if they aren't real that is okay. We need your imaginations.

Hello Madame Mushka,

Here is my gold coin!



Last night I had a strange dream involving a door way that kept leading me back to the entrance to my house. Needless to say after the 3rd time trying to leave the entry way I decided to just sit down and wait for something to happen. It was at this time that a big hole in the floor opened up! Looking down the hole I couldn't see the bottom so rather then stand around waiting for something to happen at the entrance to my house I jump into the hole! What an adventure! I fell through the universe seeing the worlds born, constellations arranging themselves, and time moving! Next thing I knew I was falling flat on my rear back to where I had started... The entrance of my house...

What does it all mean?

[Delling]

In my dream last night... my roommate Ronan threw up ... and then I did. The weird part was that I was in the middle room of my house back in Georgia and that he was throwing up in the front bathroom of said house... we are in Galway.

Can you find some sort of hidden meaning in this?

[tessspoon]

The other night I dreamed I was living in a tiny shack of a house. I don't have any children in real life, but in the dream I had a 1 year old son. I realized I didn't have any food to give him, so I decided to go to the market. Then I realized I had no way of getting my son to the market with me, but I couldn't leave him alone by himself. So I drank some kind of potion and suddenly we were at the market, and I was finally able to buy food. I turned to give it to my son, but instead of a baby he was now an adult and telling me he was moving out to start his own family. Then I woke up. What does it mean, Madame Mushka?

[Deloria]

I regularly have semi-disturbing dreams about dying. :s Most of them involve either bleeding to death or being shot from close-range in the sternum. Once it was a firing squad. In the firing squad dream, I was Moll Flanders. It was in 3D.

Here's a cold coin:



This is an epic dream.  I think I need to add another coin.



I had ended up in a magical river valley.  Being magical valley, it was shrouded in mists, with the hills covered with jungles of trees, bamboo, and ferns.  The jungle was filled with beautiful creatures, including butterflies, birds, snakes, and lizards.  I arrived by train, but because most of the magic had left that part of the valley, most of the people had moved away and the town was quite small.  I made my way through the town, past an abandoned elementary school, up into the jungle.  As I was going through the path, I passed by two women who were picking ferns.  As they each had three arms, they were quite good at it.  They were astonished that I was travelling alone.  They said that they were planning to eat the ferns - it helps them see the future.  I continued on the path through the jungle, and I ran into a larger group of women.  They were calling out for somebody.  It turns out that they were looking for the first two women I had met.  I said that they were too far away to hear them.  This group was also surprised to see that I was travelling alone - "You're such a pretty young woman - one of the Formosan dragon's favourite treats".  I replied that I had a cell phone.

Anyway, I continued through the jungle.  I passed by several waterfalls.  One of the waterfalls was a vanishing water - instead of the water pouring into a stream, river, or hole in the ground, as the water fell it would gradually disappear.  At another waterfall, the water turned into a soft fluffy foam.  I waded into the foam.  It was fun to bounce around in it.  I wish I could have a bed made out of that foam, but supposedly the foam breaks down in a few hours (the waterfall, however, constantly replenishes the foam).  I saw another group of travelers I was travelling by the waterfalls.  I also went into the cave behind one of the waterfalls, but I heard a ghoul, so I ran the hell out, and almost fell into the waterfall (it was the disappearing waterfall, so if I had fallen in, I would have disappeared too).

After climbing up above the waterfalls (which required climbing up a set of dancing logs - they would constantly move in the air, and I had to time my jumps just right - like a platformer video game)  I reached a very boring place.  There were stunning views up there of the hills in the mist, don't get me wrong, but the magic in that place is such that in induces boredom no matter what, even if someone is being chased by a roc (though that's not much of a danger, since if a roc flew up there, the roc would also be too bored to chase anything).  I made my way down from the peak of boredom, into a little village.  The village was - how shall I describe it?  You know what it's like when you're wearing smudged glasses?  Well, my vision in the village was like that - I wasn't wearing glasses, it was just the nature of the local magic distorting my vision.  As I passed the gardens (where the vegetables would laughing about me) I saw two little dragons in the village ahead.  As soon as they saw me, the little dragons started snarling.  I walked away, not wanting to be attacked by a bunch of dragons.  I looked for something to defend myself.  I found a large bamboo pole lying around.  I was longer that I am, but when I rubbed it, water came out, which I figured would be handy if the dragons tried to breathe fire on me.  Mostly, though, the pole just looked big.  

Well, when I went back towards the village, the little dragons did not snarl at me.  I suspect they respected my bamboo pole.  Unfortunately, the bamboo pole was difficult to carry.  As I was leaving the village, I passed by the house.  The door was open, and Lady Gaga music was coming out.  I then saw an old man come out.  We chatted for a little bit.  He insisted that my bamboo pole was inappropriate, and so he went into his garden, cut a bamboo, and gave it to me.  Who am I to refuse the gifts of a strange old man?  I dropped my current bamboo pole, and accepted the gift.  The old man's bamboo pole was much easier to carry.

I then reached the gates of Mages' Garden.  See, because there is so much magic in this valley, mages used to like to train here, especially to master more advanced forms of magic.  But there had been a magic storm and a series of magicslides, so they had to close down the Mages' Garden, and since then nobody has tried to restore it.  I know some adventurers do try to enter and explore Mages' Garden, but I knew I wasn't skilled enough, so I just tried to take a few peeks.  I did see a bit of the Flying Waterfall, which if you enter it, gives you the ability to fly for about 20 minutes, but of course I didn't try to try it for myself.

When I went past the gates of Mages' Garden, two dogs ran up to me.  No, they floated up to me - they were merely the heads of dogs, floating above the ground, but their bark was still loud, and their teeth still looked sharp.  To my surprise, somebody was actually inside the gate.  It turns out those are his dogs, and he called them back.  He said they wouldn't have actually tried to hurt me because they would have been too scared of my bamboo pole.  I talked with him a little while, though I didn't find out what he was doing at the gate.  He gave me directions to the nearest train station.

So then I made my way down a bunch of steps towards the river and the train station.  The steps warned me that they were very slippery.  I walked down them quickly, and told the steps that they weren't slippery at all.  Then I slipped.  OK, touche.  Then the steps became very slippery, probably because I wounded their pride.  I was wondering how I was going to make it to the train station.  Then my bamboo pole started to help me out by grabbing the roots of the trees by the steps.  This was very helpful, and I'm not sure how I would have made it down the steps without the bamboo pole.  Unfortunately, in the process of grabbing so many roots, the bamboo pole slowly got more and more injured, so I had to leave in in the jungle so it could absorb the magic of the valley to recover.  I was then at the river again, and crossed a bridge.  

Finally, I made it to the train tracks.  Unfortunately, the only way to get to the train station was to walk on the tracks.  Well, it would only take 5 minutes to walk to the train station, and trains weren't frequent, right?  Well, there just happened to be a train coming by as I was walking on the tracks, so I had to leap up to avoid getting hit.  That's right, I leaped up high enough that the train ran by under me while I was suspended in the air.  I made it to the train station alright, but unfortunately I had missed my train.  So instead, I spent an hour talking to a travelling bard at the train station waiting for the next train.

I brought a camera along in my dream, and took some photos.  Here they are.

EDIT: So, Madame Muska, what does this mean?

Dear Madame Mushka,

I am sending you this letter with this Daventry coin. I hope this is fair enough. But that's not what I am writing about.
This dream I have been having lately. It is very strange. In the dream I'm laying in bed but I dream I wake up and on my homework desk I see a small glowing white figure in the shape of a man. He struggles for the longest time on my desk. There is string from thread that I have sitting there, penicils and pens. He struggles for the longest time. Eventually I get up to help him. Pulling the thread which is like rope to the small glowing man.
After untangling him he gets up dusting himself off and seems to stare up at me for a moment, then he turns around and heads towards the outlet were my lamp is plugged in and crawls into one of the little holes.
The lights flicker then I wake up.
I don't understand what's going on.... I thought you would beable to help me. I've heard rumor of a great dream interpitor. That would be you Madame Mushka. I hope you can help me.

sincerely,
Ultima992

Here's a whole treasure chest full of gold.

I'll explain my dream to you elsewhere.

[Damar]

I dream that I'm walking through Tamir, by the waterfall.  Suddenly Jollo the Clown, from the Green Isles, appears, partially hidden in the cave beyond the falls.  He asks me if I want a balloon, but he has a weird look in his eye.  He tells me that the balloon floats.  They all float.

So I try to run, but I'm pulled into another cave with three witches that are sharing an eye.  They're also sharing a tooth that they use to eat acorns.  The witches grab me and throw me into a pot, which turns into a giant purple ocean filled with gold fish.  I wash up on a beach where I build a fire and eat waffles.  And while I sit there, alone, I can still hear Jollo's voice wafting on the breeze, "They all float."  And I know that I'm only safe for the moment, with my waffles.  Jollo is coming for me.

Then I wake up.  There's usually a balloon in my room when I'm awake.  It's kind of freaky because it wasn't there when I went to sleep.  What does it all mean?

[Deloria]

I just dreamed I was reenacting the intro movie of King's Quest VII, but I couldn't find a path lined with trees on either side, I did, however, find a big metal basket, which I then took with me as an inventory item and red peonies for the bouquet. I eventually found a teenager on a metal post. I'm not sure what that was about. Then I met up with Kelsey, who was the voice of the *real* Rosella in this dream and I got an oversized credit card from her, the purpose of which I never found out. Then I came back home and started arguing with someone about a mathematical formula; to solve this problem, I tried looking it up online, but found that searching for specific things in dreams doesn't work. And then I woke up. What does it mean?

[Haids1987]

Dear Madame Mushka,

Last night I dreamed that my boss came to my house and accidently left her laptop there.  I put a bowl of water on top of it and proceeded to wash my hair in said bowl.  Though I heard her approaching the stoop to retreive her computer, I hurriedly continued to wash my hair on top of it.  Only when she rang the doorbell did I move the bowl and wipe off the lappy.

What does this mean?!

Sincerely,

Haids
